Frequently asked questions

1. Why should I choose solar energy?

Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of power that can significantly reduce your electricity bills and carbon footprint. It also increases the value of your property and provides energy independence.

2. How do solar panels work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. This electricity can be used to power your home or business, with any excess energy being stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.

3. What are the financial benefits of going solar?

By installing solar panels, you can save on your electricity bills, take advantage of government incentives and tax credits, and potentially increase the resale value of your property.

4. How much does it cost to install solar panels?

The cost of solar panel installation varies based on the size of the system, your location, and the specific requirements of your property. We offer free consultations to provide you with a customized quote.

5. Are there any government incentives for installing solar panels?

Yes, there are various state, and local incentives available, including tax credits, rebates, and grants that can significantly reduce the cost of your solar installation.

6. How long does it take to install a solar energy system?

The installation process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the system and the size of your property. We handle all permits and inspections to ensure a smooth process.

7. What maintenance is required for solar panels?

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and periodic inspections are usually sufficient to keep them operating efficiently. We offer maintenance packages to ensure your system remains in top condition.

8. Will my solar panels work during a power outage?

If your system includes battery storage, you can still have power during an outage. Without batteries, your solar panels will not provide power during a grid outage for safety reasons.

9. How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels are designed to last 25-30 years or more. Most come with a warranty that guarantees performance for at least 20-25 years.

10. Can I go off-grid with solar panels?

Yes, with the addition of battery storage, you can go off-grid and become completely independent from the utility company. This setup requires careful planning and a larger investment.

11. How do I know if my property is suitable for solar panels?

Our team will conduct a site assessment to determine the suitability of your property for solar panels. Factors include roof condition, orientation, shading, and available space.

12. What financing options are available for solar installations?

We offer various financing options, including solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs), to make solar energy accessible and affordable for everyone.

13. What is net metering?

Net metering is a billing arrangement that allows you to receive credit for excess electricity your solar panels produce and send back to the grid. This can offset the cost of electricity you use from the grid when your panels aren't producing enough power.
